24 Hour Fruit Salad Food

24 HOUR FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• In the bottom of a double boiler, bring 1 inch water to simmer. Combine eggs, lemon juice, and sugar in top of double boiler and cook until thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Using a standing mixer or electric hand mixer, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in cooled custard sauce until combined.
• In a large bowl, add grapes, pineapple, oranges, cherries, marshmallows, and banana. Pour cream sauce over and stir to combine. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours before serving.

24-HOUR SALAD WITH FRUIT AND CUSTARD RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Drain the juices from the canned fruits and set the fruit aside. Pour the juices into a glass measuring cup. Add enough water to the combined juices, if necessary, to measure 1 1/2 cups.
• Combine the eggs, flour, sugar, and the juice mixture in a heavy saucepan and beat very well with a wire whisk . You want to beat enough that the mixture is foamy.
• Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring it constantly with a wire whisk, until thick and boiling. You want to make sure that the mixture is thick enough so the salad will be thick.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the lemon juice with a wire whisk, cover, and chill the custard in the refrigerator until cold, about 4 to 5 hours.
• When the custard is cold, fold in the well-drained fruits, marshmallows, and the sliced bananas.
• Gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Pour the salad into a serving bowl and cover. Chill for 24 hours.
• Serve and enjoy.

FAMILY FAVORITE 24 HOUR FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Drain pineapple chunks in a colander over a small bowl and reserve 4 tablespoons of pineapple syrup.
• 2. To make custard for fruit salad: In a small heavy saucepan, combine reserved pineapple syrup, egg yolks, sugar, vinegar, butter or margarine, and salt. *Note: as a rule, I used apple cider vinegar*
• 3. Cook and stir over low heat, whisking or stirring constantly, for about 6 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and coats a metal spoon. It may take a little longer than 6 minutes, but when it coats the spoon it is ready. (Yes you will smell the vinegar, but don't worry, the custard will taste delicious). Cool to room temperature.
• 4. In a 3 quart bowl, combine pineapple chunks, fruit cocktail, mixed fruit, and marshmallows.
• 5. Pour custard over; mix fruit mixture gently. (I generally make this up in a glass rectangular baking pan.)
• 6. In a large bowl, to make the whipped cream do the following: Mix 1 envelope of Dream Whip, 1/2 cup cold milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat on low speed until blended. Then beat on high speed for 4 minutes until topping thickens and form peaks.
• 7. Fold whipped cream into fruit mixture. Cover with some Saran Wrap and refrigerate 24 hours or overnight. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
